Disaster Preparedness & Response
Natural or man-made,
disasters
can be scary, chaotic, and tragic events. ANA is helping to ensure disaster preparedness and response is robust in this country, and helps you be personally and professionally prepared for a disaster.
Always have a personal and family disaster plan. Thinking about being a volunteer responder? The time to register is before a disaster, not during one. Choose a volunteer responder organization that matches your desired level of response.
ANA has
policy
,
resources
, and
educational opportunities
for nurses on disaster preparedness. When we are a prepared profession, we can cope and help our communities recover from disasters better, faster, and stronger.
Helping You Be Prepared
Guidance for Integrating Culturally Diverse Communities into Planning for and Responding to Emergencies: A Toolkit [pdf]
This toolkit was developed to provide preparedness planning and response agencies, organizations, and professionals with practical strategies, resources and examples of models for improving existing activities and developing new programs to meet the needs of racially and ethnically diverse populations.
A Nurse's Duty to Respond in a Disaster [PDF]
Unresolved issues of legal, ethical, and professional considerations of disaster medical response remain a challenge, and could hamper the ability of nurses to respond. A concerted effort to solving these problems is needed, with nurses and stakeholders at the national, state, and local levels.
